ASUS Xonar D1 

The Xonar D1 driver CD includes RightMark Audio Analyzer (RMAA) v5.6, a 

popular software intended for testing the quality of audio equipment, be it a sound 

card, portable MP player, consumer CD/DVD player, or a speaker system. The 

measurements are conducted by playing and recording test signals, and using 

frequency analysis algorithms. The following provides a step-by-step loop-back 

test guide for your Xonar D1 audio card.

Open the Xonar D1 Audio Center. Use the settings below:
1.  Select the sample rate you will be using with RMAA (here we set 48KHz for 

testing 48KHz/24bit signals).

.  Set analog output to -speaker mode (to get rid of any channel processing 

over RMAA stereo signals in the driver)

.  Turn off all sound effects including Dolby, 7.1 speaker shifter, EQ, 

Environment, etc. A quick way to do so is to enable the “Hi-Fi mode” button in 

the Audio Center.
